lanalouwho Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I'm hungry. I'm trying to decide which is worse: trying to cook something in my kitchen (which badly needs to be restocked) or trying to get my kids dressed to go get something. Maybe I'll just starve. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She says she'll make pb and j and carrot sticks and asked me what existential means. You can all come over. Oh, Reader turned 8! She's such a big girl! Any book recs for her age about growing up and puberty? She's asking questions... I just finished reading to DD12 “The Care and Keeping of You, book 1” which is put out by American Girl.

Critterfixer Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I want a squillion points and a chocolate bar. I will cook because I want to eat, but yes--it is frustrating when someone asks for dinner immediately after lunch is finished. And don't get me started on what happened the other day when the boy wanted popcorn and I was busy. "Make it yourself. You know how." "Oh, I'll get some cheese. It's too much trouble." But not when Mom makes it... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I want to cry. I am so tired. And behind. I’m wearing my ugly pants because laundry is so backed up. And I seriously have no idea what dd has been doing in school for the last month. You know, that school where I am technically listed as “teacher”. I have been trying to shampoo up all puppy pee spots (even after using Nature’s Miracle). And I got home from my second taxi session for ds today to find that the cat had thrown up. All over. Big freaking sigh. (And I don’t like saying freaking so you know how upset I am). 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Lynn Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 (((Jean))) In a few more months all this potty training will be a distant memory. Your dd is doing great! Puppies are overwhelming.

I'll see if my library has that. So far, all the books I've previewed give too much informatuon, more than what's she's asking for and more than an 8 yo needs, imo. Maybe I should just keep summarizing, but you know me. Gotta have a book, just in case! I had to have a book. We did read it together, which is more than my mom ever did with me. She just handed me Dobson’s “Preparing for Adolescence” and told me to go read it. No instructions, no discussion afterwords, no “do you have any questions?.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
